Riboli Family Wines has introduced two bold additions to its San Antonio Wines lineup — the San Antonio Grape Red and the San Antonio Port. These high-alcohol-by-volume wines, measuring 16% and 18% respectively, are crafted to meet the growing demand for sweeter, full-bodied options. Both wines showcase the brand's dedication to quality and tradition while staying attuned to evolving consumer preferences.
San Antonio Grape Red is a naturally sweet blend made from California grapes. It offers notes of red berries alongside plum and cherry aromas. Its versatility allows it to be enjoyed chilled or over ice. Meanwhile, the San Antonio Port is a rich and smooth dessert wine with an emphasis on sweetness and a robust profile. It draws inspiration from California's heritage in fortified wines.
